This is a post to save! Beautiful pics and yummy sounding recipes. Your tablescapes are so pretty. It seems like most bloggers are only showing neutrals and after awhile, they all look the same. Thank you for treating us with more traditional colors and lots of variety. Your blog is my favorite!
Oh Mary! I will take one of everything! Favorite post of the day! I want to try so many of these! I have had a hankering for making mini pumpkin pies and I am dying to try that potato gratin pie. Love love love!

I love your blog, one of my favorites!!!!!! This is a keeper, will refer to it many times in the coming weeks. Always look forward to seeing the next blog, your tables scapes are amazing
This is the MOST wonderful Thanksgiving blog post ever! I am so happy to have found your blog. Thank you.
I used to say you needed to publish a book with all your beautiful posts…but I’ve changed my mind…You need to publish a collection of books, one per each season and each holiday…You have more than enough material to get you started!
Oh my! Everything looks delicious! Including the tablescapes! I’ve lost 18 pounds recently and I think I just gained half of it back by reading that scrumptious pecan-pumpkin bread pudding recipe.
All the pretty food has made me hungry. I would love to have a piece of either of the pumpkin cakes right now as it is the middle of the afternoon. The soups sound delicious. Pinning away for later.
Of course, all the tablescapes are perfect in every way.
We got two inches of rain over the weekend.
Have a great week.
Mary, this post is a complete guide to autumn entertaining. Wow, what a treasure trove. Every one of these dishes is making me want to pull up a chair and have a bite or two or three or ….
Your details always make me swoon with delight.
Thanks for visiting my tartan post. I wish you could play along. I know your post would be spectacular.
Sigh…so much beautiful food, so many stunning tables…thank you for the fabulous fall round up Mary! [I’m posting one too on Friday] It’s so much fun to look back and discover things I missed the first time, and get new inspirations! Your floral pumpkins have me just itching to give it a try! I have got to make that potato gratin with rosemary crust, it’s been on my to do list for a long time!
Jenna
just got home and back to umlimited internet, i have been without it for weeks and missed so many of your fabulous pics! i have loads of scrolling to do tonight, i had peeked on my phone, but its a treat to sit and take in weeks of your work!
Okay, I declare you Queen of Thanksgiving…who can beat all these fabulous—LOOKS and recipes. NUMMY, and here I am trying to simplify. This is just too fab,
Mary, what inspiration from the magnificent tablescapes to the presentation of food and recipes!! Such a great post to save! Blessings, Pam (everydayliving.me)
What an absolutely beautiful and mouth watering display of seasonal goodies. My husband was reading over my shoulder as I scrolled down. I heard a lot of oh’s and ah’s so I know he agrees with me. I have followed you for a number of years and I can’t think of any other blog that I rush to in order to see what fantastic recipes and table settings you have to share with us this year. Hope you and your have an fantastic holiday season. Now, I can’t wait for you Christmas postings. :)
Wow, what a feast and I must give at least one of these recipes a try for my Thanksgiving. I have only been following you for a year so I had to keep going back to check the recipes. Some folks read recipes instead of novels, so delicious. Your posts allow us to have a visual feast like no other. I would love to be your table setting assistant. So many choices and color combos and it all works. I am going to look at my dishes in new and unorthodox ways and see if I can benefit from your instruction. Would love to see where your dishes, tablewares get stored. It must be one terrific closet. Oh, baby. Thanks for today.
Beautiful Thanksgiving tablescapes and scrumptious recipes. All the food looks delicious!!
Mary, you could publish a series of books with recipes and tabletop ideas for each season! This is such an incredible collection. As I was scrolling, I said to myself, “Oh, I want to make that!” and “I want to make that!” Pinning and sharing!
As always, just lovely and so innovative. I’ve seen all of these before and love seeing them again. No way to pick a fav!
Oh my mouth is watering!! This all looks sooo good!
